The interface as a technological structure able to synchronise the changes in a specific flow of matter is something more than the standardised view of the world proposed by mainstream discourse.

The interface and its capacity for action reside both in the calibration of its technological elements and its political/poetic intentions.

We speculate from technological experimentality, we build from poetic resonance. 

The content of this session focuses on the basic concepts of the core idea “live performance/performance recording” or, what is the same: regarding the distance between the live piece (choreography, performance) and the filmed piece.

Throughout the session we deal with the key questions involved based on the analysis and interpretation of well-known dance film and video items. The sessions will consist of a comparative study of the chosen items, thus allowing us to analyse the difficulties involved in the live/recorded debate by means of said items.
